Join the Rural School and Community Trust and BetterLesson for an exclusive networking event!

The Time Is Now: Promising Practices for Leading Rural Districts in 2020 and Beyond

 
Friday, February 14, 2020
1:45 - 3:00 PM 
The Hard Rock Hotel 
Across from the Convention Center
 

One in five students in the U.S. attends a rural school, but the challenges facing many children and families in rural America still aren’t getting the attention they deserve in state and national policies. With a widening gap between the highest and lowest achieving students, it is more important than ever for rural leaders to identify, scale, and advocate for best practices that will drive student growth and achievement and prepare them for careers and continued education. Join The Rural School and Community Trust, BetterLesson, and colleagues from across the country to discuss the state of rural education, promising practices that build on local assets, and the support needed to implement them.

Appetizers and drinks will be provided along with a copy of the 2018-19 "Why Rural Matters Report" and a gift.
